This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month. Since it takes 21-30 days to develop a new habit, making a goal for the month ahead is an effective strategy.
The buddy system is one of the main ways to get motivated. I’ve always found that if I say out loud to someone what I plan on doing, I’m more likely to do it. Because if I say I will, I feel responsible to follow through.
Age doesn’t matter. It’s never too late. You can always make progress and actually reverse the signs of aging!
Chris has My Fitness Pal app on his phone but hasn’t used it in a long time. He started thinking it might be a good idea to use it over the next month so that he can strike a balance between healthy foods and good-tasting foods.
I wanted to increase my water intake to six glasses a day. My plan was to carry a refillable water bottle with me whenever I was leaving the house.

A bomber jacket is useful on cooler days or evenings. Although it is an athleisure piece, it can be dressed up as well as down. Age doesn’t matter because on-trend styles always look young! There are lots of modern versions out now, including off-the-shoulder jackets. And since the bomber jacket is a classic, you should even be able to find one at a secondhand store.
There are quilted bombers, sequined ones, leather ones, lace ones, weatherproof ones, fleece ones, denim ones, baseball style, military style, you name it!
Since there are so many types of bomber jackets, you can use one to dress up or down a plain outfit. Or, on the other hand, you can dress up or down your bomber with special outfits or casual ones.

I first fell in love with the safari look when I saw it in the Ralph Lauren style guide. He captured the romance of an exotic adventure and the nomadic spirit. A Ralph Lauren catchword is “global artisan,” a keyword for the ethnic style I favor toward. The other styles that fill my eyes with stars and take my breath away are exotic and bohemian, which fit right in with safari chic. Do you like these styles too?
The urban safari look is timeless, recurring year after year in ever modern variations during the spring and summer months, and even in fall. Since this style is classic, age doesn’t matter. Whether you add one piece or wear an entire outfit based on the safari theme, anyone can wear this. The trick is to do it your way. As I always say, show your true self!
The safari theme contrasts masculine and feminine. Its main idea is the comfort and utility of a safari vacation in the African outback. Its feminine touches are based on themes of royalty and candlelit dinners in weathered canvas tents. Overall it has a rustic feel with rich embellishments.
What follows is every element of modern urban safari style, so that you can begin to incorporate it into your spring, summer (and even fall!) outfits. I hope these ideas inspire more creativity as you look for new ways to wear what you have in a way that you love.
